Quote by Paul Wolfowitz
Someone once said that history has more imagination than all the scenario writers in the Pentagon, and we have a lot of scenario writers here. No one ever wrote a scenario for commercial airliners crashing into the World Trade Center.
Summary
This quote suggests that history often brings about unexpected events that even the most creative minds cannot anticipate or imagine. It highlights the limitations of human imagination, taking the example of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center which were so unprecedented that no scenario writer could have conceived of such an event involving commercial airliners. The quote emphasizes the unpredictable nature of historical events and reminds us of the limitations of our foresight and planning.
